Ilkley Harriers Ilkley Moor fell race
The Ilkley Moor Fell Race has been staged by Ilkley Harriers every year since 1990. It is a hard fell race in Winter and is not suitable for beginners as there are some steep, slippery, and rocky descents.
Pete Bland Sports are again generously supporting the race this year, providing winners' prizes and race numbers, and their travelling shop will be at the event.
